prepare to work in the field of Aerospace Engineering. I found Gonzalo Mendoza who is an Engineer Specialist in Aero sciences for CESSNA Aircraft Company. Mr. Mendoza graduated with his Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Aerospace Engineering at San José State University (SJSU) in the Spring of 1997. I chose to interview Mr. Mendoza because other than his position at CESSNA, he was a student at SJSU which is beneficial for me because it would be the best time to ask some advice with senior project designs
minute later, another plane called a Cessna 172 lifted off the ground from Montgomery Field in Kearney Mesa, within minutes the Cessna and Flight 182 were flying in the same trajectory and the tower warning Flight 182 that the Cessna was one the same course as theirs. However the pilot was confused from the message, and having not seen the Cessna until it was too late, the Cessna collied with Flight 182, damaging the left wing and killing everyone on the Cessna, killing the pilots and falling to the
The Cessna Aircraft Company is an American general aviation aircraft created in 1927 by Clyde Cessna in Wichita, Kansas, which is currently where headquarters located. The Cessna Aircraft Company is best known for small piston-powered aircraft. Cessna 152 first introduced in 1977 after its successor, Cessna 150. Both Cessna 152 and Cessna 150 are an all metal high wing two seat aircraft with fixed tricycle landing gear widely used for flight training and personal use. The Cessna 152 is insignificantly
Tara Underwood Aeromedical Ultrasound: The Evaluation of Point-of-care Ultrasound During Helicopter Transport Original Abstract Introduction This study correlated the eFAST findings performed in-flight by the flight crew with the findings obtained by the trauma team upon initial evaluation at a level 1 trauma center and with the subsequent CT scans that were performed or the surgeon's operative note. We hypothesize that aeromedical eFAST examinations are highly correlated with the trauma teams
Cessna Skyhawks, presented in 1956 by Clyde Cessna, were very profitable and popular in the 1980’s. However, with a terrible downturn in the aviation business in the following decade and a half, Cessna was unable to produce enough profit to sustain production of the Skyhawk and similar piston-engine planes. Cessna was compelled to lay off 75 percent of their representatives due to the loss of production. Fortunately, Skyhawks are not the only aircrafts that Cessna built and they could stay in
Cessna is a brand of planes where many beginner pilots drive a Cessna plane, most likely the “Cessna Skyhawk.” Cessna was a very successful company, but unfortunately, there was a rough patch in their sales and they had to lay off many of their employees. The economy improved later on and the General Aviation Revitalization Act was passed which allowed Cessna to begin building their Skyhawks again. I am the manager and I decided that I would have my employees would work together instead of each having
Lavish Corporate Expenditures Another reason for Enron’s bankruptcy was the unnecessary personal spending by corporate managers. It was a direct loss to the company’s shareholders. In the later stages before its bankruptcy, the luxuries were paid from the company’s borrowing, as it had no real profits. Therefore in the later stages, the creditors were at a loss rather than its shareholders. One of the most common expenses was corporate airplanes. Such travel arrangements cost many fold compared
Thrown into the United State’s army in order to pay for medical school, my father experienced numerous crises. But out of seven years of service, the first crisis story my father shared with me occurred a decade later in his occupational medicine office. One quiet work night Doctor Malik, my father’s boss, chocked on his dinner and could not breathe. Celia, the difficult to work with office nurse heard gurgling in the corresponding room and began to investigate. When she found Doctor Malik, she immediately
another modern transportation enterprise: aviation. The first Cessna Comet airplane was manufactured there in 1917 (www.wichita.gov, 2011). Currently there are many airports and landing fields in the surrounding area including McConnell Air Force Base, Wichita Mid-Continental (major terminal) and regional airports, Colonel James Jabara and Augusta Municipal Airport. Currently, Wichita’s four largest aircraft manufacturers are Boeing Co., Cessna Aircraft Co., Bombardier Learjet Inc., and Raytheon Aircraft
I finally got my chance when he called me into his office to discuss the status on a work package for Cessna. When it was my turn to speak at the end of his demeaning conversation, I began with an ASSERTIVE approach rather than acting passively or aggressively. For this reason, I wanted to attempt to understand or experience what my manager understands or
the first time. Thinking back to that day, it was one of the most unforgettable experiences and I remember it as though it was yesterday. When I was about four years old my father got his pilots license. The first plane he bought was a little Cessna 172. A Cessna 172 is fairly small plane and has only two seats, so that gives you a perspective on how little it is. In the beginning my mom was a little uneasy about him taking me flying, because at this time I was their only child. Eventually after my
about 19 credit hours, which would take 8-12 weeks. People are usually paid more on 3rd shift compared to 1st and 2nd. Hazardous conditions, as included earlier, are burns, cuts, falls, and loud noises. Locations would be small privately owned shops, Cessna, Boeing, and Spirit. For my personal reflection, I think if I am cautious, I will be safe. I feel happy knowing about this opportunity. I now know that I would love this job. To sum up, salary is an important

directed towards Captain Heart. Captain Heart adjusted the throttle and mix, then tried the ignition. The engine coughed once, and then kicked to life as strong as ever. The Captain revved the engine as the first mortar landed squarely on top of the Cessna killing the two Captains, Lt Colonel Layton and setting two of the three aircraft on fire. The squad that was supposed to be providing security had scattered a bit, lost in the chaos they tried to find where the mortar had come from. It was too
The Avro Anson V has a molded plywood fuselage which was a key factor to its success in the Canadian climate. The fuselage of the plane was made of sheets of spruce and casein glue making it very lightweight compared to the metal alternatives. The fuselage was very aerodynamic and draft free which increased the vehicles performance. In order to manufacture a molded plywood fuselage three layers of spruce plywood strips are stacked and soaked with casein glue inside a concave mold. After the layers
Flying Solo Today is the day of my first flying lesson. For the last month I have been putting together a model of the Spirit of St. Louis, the plane Charles Lindbergh used to fly from to New York to Paris in May of 1927, the first transatlantic flight. I love putting together models; I love the intense concentration it requires, the knot of tension that forms at the back of my neck, the dizzying smell of glue. Charles Lindbergh was not the first pilot to attempt this flight, but he was the
time in the forest as fulfilling. Maybe not in the middle of the story, but afterwards, he would of thought of it as a very good experience. From only pages of the book, Brian starts to learn. When the pilot offers him a quick ‘lesson’ of flying the Cessna plane, this saves his life when the pilot dies a horrific heat attack in his seat. This causes Brian to panic, but he safely crash lands inside a lake. Then soon after, he starts to learn that just some insects are coming wanting his flesh. He never
Usually, aircraft accidents are rarely a result of single isolated events. In most cases, several factors are in play, and connected as links in a chain to lead to such disastrous fatal accidents. Nonetheless, the pilots' responses are often the final link in such chain of events. The manner that the pilots respond to the emerging issues that bring planes down in accidents is normally perceived to be the sole cause of such accidents, yet investigations normally reveal numerous other causes. Some
Honor means to feel esteem or respect. Honor to me means to help and care for others, instead of yourself being your first priority. Galileo is considered to be honorable because he was able to overcome some of the struggles in his life. In the summer of 1851, he was enrolled in the University of Pisa to carry out a degree in medicine. In 1585, he was forced to leave the University of Pisa because of the lack of funds. He unfortunately, was not able to complete his degree, but that did not prohibit
